"You
Chapter 155: The Whole Family Needs to Be Together
"What are you planning to do?"
Faced with the terror of the unknown, the head of the Dipong family shrieked in absolute despair.
Downstairs, the mercenaries all kept their heads down, remaining completely silent.
They pretended not to hear anything.
Taoyao performed her incantation, "Phantom Demonic Heart, First Layer."
The eyes of the Dipong family head instantly lost focus as he stood there blankly.
"Dipong family head, listen to my command. Call all your relatives and summon them here for a meeting. Tell them you are going to distribute shares to them."
"No matter what, you must ensure that every single one of them returns."
Taoyao ordered.
"Yes."
Obediently following instructions, the Dipong family head made phone calls to every member of his clan.
His family was vast, numbering nearly a hundred members scattered across the globe.
Family businesses and profits were distributed annually as dividends based on fixed shares.
This time, the family head personally notified them.
He claimed that the shares were to be reallocated and demanded that everyone return to the family headquarters within twenty-four hours.
Anyone who failed to return past the deadline would automatically forfeit their shares.
Hearing this news, the family members began to speculate wildly.
Astonishment, curiosity, and surprise!
All sorts of theories were tossed around.
Some were busy with work and genuinely reluctant to make the trip.
Yet, upon hearing that not returning meant giving up their shares—
That was a massive fortune!
How could they let that happen?
Family members set off from all corners of the world, making their way back one after another.
Night fell.
The mercenaries finally finished cleaning up the villa.
Their leader approached Gu Xiangnan:
"Mr. Gu, everything has been taken care of. Can we leave now?"
Gu Xiangnan asked, "How were the bodies disposed of?"
"Thrown from the cliff into the sea behind."
"Take me to see."
Seizing a moment when Gu Xiangnan was not paying attention, the mercenary leader gestured to his subordinates.
It was their tactical signal.
Swarming around Gu Xiangnan, they arrived at the edge of the cliff.
"Mr. Gu, they were thrown right down there. You can take a look for yourself."
Pointing downward, the mercenary leader attempted to shove Gu Xiangnan over the precipice while his guard was down.
"Swish, swish, swish, swish~~~"
Gu Xiangnan rapidly unleashed his palms, striking out toward the mercenaries.
His Giant Primordial Palm emanated a crimson glow, slamming directly into their chests.
The spots where they were hit were blasted entirely through, leaving gaping holes.
"You..."
"This is impossible!"
"Ah!"
With expressions of utter disbelief, they watched as Gu Xiangnan effortlessly hurled every last one of them over the cliff.
Gu Xiangnan dusted off his hands.
"All cleaned up. Perfect!"
He strolled leisurely back to the study, remembering that Essely was still waiting for him outside in the car.
He gave Essely a call, telling her to come straight inside.
Receiving the call, Essely was both startled and overjoyed.
Heaven only knew how she had endured those hours in the car, consumed by unrelenting anxiety.
Now that Gu Xiangnan was telling her to enter—
She could not wait a second longer.
Upon stepping into the second-floor study, Essely was shocked to discover that the notorious head of the Dipong family was sitting right there.
"Good evening, sir!"
Coming from a humble background, she instinctively greeted such a towering figure.
Gu Xiangnan laughed heartily.
"Why bother being polite to him? He's nothing more than our puppet now."
Finding it hard to believe, Essely watched as Gu Xiangnan demonstrated by commanding the family head to pour her a cup of tea.
Seeing the powerful patriarch obey obediently, she finally allowed herself to believe it.
"Gu, why aren't we leaving? Could it be that you actually want to stay here?"
"The Dipong family members are already on their way back. I'm just waiting for everyone to arrive."
Gu Xiangnan made a slicing motion across his neck.
A shudder ran through Essely. So he wasn't just joking; he genuinely intended to wipe out the entire family.
Given her background with the FBI, she voiced her concerns:
"You've gotten your revenge, but have you considered how to get out of here unscathed?"
Gu Xiangnan replied, "I'm all ears."
"A villa as luxurious as this undoubtedly has surveillance systems."
Walking around the room, she quickly spotted several security cameras.
"Look, these surveillance devices will become evidence for the Bureau later."
"There has to be a surveillance room in this house. We need to destroy all the previous footage."
"Besides, since you can control them—"
"Why not have them record a video, preferably one proving that their deaths have nothing to do with you?"
Heeding the professional advice given by an insider,
Gu Xiangnan and Essely conducted a thorough search of the villa.
Sure enough, they discovered a surveillance room in the basement.
They severed the wiring, rendering all the cameras useless.
Then, they formatted every piece of video stored on the computers.
To be completely safe, they smashed the entire computer mainframe to pieces and tossed it into the deep sea.
Hours later, in the living room.
Gu Xiangnan sat on a spacious sofa, holding a cigar between his fingers, his deep gaze fixed upon the scenery outside the window.
Outside the villa, cars drove in one after another, creating a bustling commotion.
The members of the Dipong family had rushed back from all directions.
Normally, whenever they returned to the ancestral estate, a large retinue of servants would rush out to greet them.
Warmly taking their luggage and inquiring about their well-being.
Today, however, the place was eerily desolate.
Yet, sitting in the grand living room were three strangers.
And all of them possessed Asian features!
They knew that the head of the Dipong family harbored a deep hostility toward Asians.
Why on earth were there Asian guests in the house?
They must be newly hired servants.
"How dare you sit on the sofa? This is top-grade calfskin leather, worth over a million! Why aren't you hurrying over to work?"
A young man with brown hair barked crudely.
He was the eldest grandson of the Dipong family, born with a silver spoon in his mouth, entirely devoid of compassion for the lower classes.
As he drew closer, he finally caught sight of the two women's faces.
Both women were exceptionally attractive.
Particularly Taoyao, who was breathtakingly gorgeous and possessed an indescribable, alluring charm.
A thrill coursed through the brown-haired man; his grandfather must have hired these two little vixens for some high-end entertainment!
Tonight, having the two of them serve him together would be absolute heaven!
"Mike, hurry up and greet your grandfather!"
His father commanded the brown-haired young man.
Everyone turned their attention toward the family head, who was likewise seated on the sofa.
"Dad!"
"Hello, Grandpa!"
"Hello, Grandpa!"
Amidst the chorus of greetings from so many people!
The head of the Dipong family remained entirely unresponsive, his gaze unfocused.
"How are you people taking care of the master? Is he sick?"
Someone cursed angrily.
As Gu Xiangnan started to stand up, Essely pressed him back down onto the sofa.
Taoyao rose to her feet, addressing everyone with a radiant smile:
"Please, look at me."
Everyone wore a blank expression.
Look at her?
Look at what?
The young men of the family, captivated by such a stunning beauty, could not help their minds from wandering.
Taoyao chanted a few silent incantations, and countless beams of purple light darted into the foreheads of these individuals.
"Listen to my commands, everyone. I'm going to record a video of you now!"
Dully, every single person nodded in agreement.
An hour later, the ancestral estate of the Dipong family was engulfed in roaring flames.
When emergency services arrived, they discovered that the villa's living room was packed tightly with corpses.
A camcorder was recovered from the scene, and the footage stored within left the investigating agents utterly horrified.
